What is The Cloud for AI Agents?
Hopx lets you spin up fully isolated Linux micro-VMs in ~100 ms — perfect for running AI agents, notebooks, or untrusted code safely at scale. Each sandbox runs in its own Firecracker microVM, with full state persistence, SDKs for Python, JS, Go, and more. No cold-start lag. No runtime limits. Just raw performance and security.
Problem
Users need to run AI agents, notebooks, or untrusted code securely but face delays due to slow environment setup times (~seconds to minutes) and limited isolation guarantees with traditional VMs or containers.
Solution
A cloud platform for AI agents offering Linux micro-VMs in ~100 ms via Firecracker. Users can deploy isolated sandboxes with persistent state, SDKs (Python/JS/Go), and scale without cold starts or runtime limits.
Customers
Developers and engineers building AI agents, cloud-native apps, or security-sensitive code; startups/SaaS companies scaling untrusted workloads.
Unique Features
MicroVM-based isolation (Firecracker), sub-second spin-up time, persistent state across sessions, multi-language SDKs, and no runtime throttling.
